    @jskls
    Dear Lakshmi
    You really know how to communicate! You tied me down with your mini travelogue. But what interested me more was your reference to Yang and Yin. Pictorially they are represented thus:

    According to Hindu belief it was Fire that started first. Rig Veda stars thus: Agni meele purohitam
    Shiva has the manifestations of the five elements:
    Fire as Arunachala
    Water as Jambukeswara (Trichy)
    Land as Ekambareswara (Kanchipuram}
    Air as Kalahastiswara
    Cosmic space as Chitsabesa (Chitambaram)
    Hindus believe that all these five are essential for life to survive.
    Sri

    I watched Moana (2016) and thought that was Hawaii, then someone told me that it was Samoa. Later, I watched Angry Birds (2016) and psyched up for Hawaii but it was some Nippon island. Finally your post is on Hawaii only, right? I mean, Hawaii of the luau parties and lei garlands and not that puckered Hawai'i.

    With the vivid charm and picturesque description in your travelogue, if there is ever an IL gathering, I vote Hawaii. We should all pack our bags and palm leaf skirts and swoop in Hawaii and sing kehte hai mujhko hawa hawaii.

    Ira's friend with a palm leaf skirt and swoop: It is serious matter. Ira, please wake up.

    Ira: I ended up watching the night skies and the group of islands until early morning, please let me sleep.

    Ira's friend: No this is something really serious. Please wake up.

    Ira: Are you going to scare me about Pacific Tsunami?

    Ira's friend: No, this is much more serious.

    Ira: What is it?

    Ira's friend: Can you hear the alarm going? It must be warning about an approaching intercontinental ballistic missile from Korean Peninsula.

    Ira: Don't worry. President Trump has already agreed to meet with Kim Jong Un and in return North Korean leader has already agreed to denuclearize. Moreover, once there was a false alarm in Hawaii.

    Ira's friend: I am told we need to rush to the bunkers when we hear the alarm. Please wake up.

    Ira: Hang on! Let me check in my iphone what is it about. Jeez! It is lava coming towards us! Thank you and let us run as fast as we can.

    Ira's friend: Wait a minute, let me change to an appropriate dress and come.

    Ira: Come on, there is no time.

    Viswa (wearing shorts, drinking coconut water and lying in white sand Clearwater Beach, Florida): I wonder why I never heard from Ira for a few days. She must have got caught in the corporate whirlpool.

    Thanks for all the likes appreciation and comments. Will reply individually in a bit.

    Before history is created and another crater formed wanted to share the beauty of the island.

    Dear Viswa Sir

    yes it was a memorable one.

    That’s really disheartening

    thanks for sharing such profound knowledge on the elements of space as well as us humans. There is always something to learn from your feedback.

    Dear @Srama Sabitha, though our travel was not affected but still feel bad for what is going on now. For Many residents there this could be first experience in their lifetime. Unlike any other natural disaster this one is so hard to predict when it will end. Hope it settles down soon. Thanks for your concern Sabitha

    Ha ha that’s a wonderful idea if someone would pay to travel around and write about it would be happy to do it.
    LOL .... :) if only there was any .... I had to revisit the places virtually to find exact names. Glad that I shared important day of my 7 day trip else it will be a short novel ;)
